7/10 Yankems @ SOX

[vegasbob]

I assume Bloom had no interest In Carpenter when he was available

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In defense of Pivetta, he's the only SOX starter I have any faith in going forward who will be capable of pitching every 5th day.

Pivetta was a flash in the pan. It was nice but the party is over for him. We should have lost yesterday too. The players were saying before they started the stretch against the Rays and Yankees that it would be a good indicator of where they are. I guess we know now where they are.

This is a fourth place team-if we can finish above the Orioles.

He has given up 13 runs and counting in his last 2 starts…….

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There is something worse than ESPN; it's ESPN 2.

True, but I was referring to his physical ability to be there every 5th day. I don't have the same trust that will be true with the returning starters for the SOX.

JD at the plate reminds me of a metronome.

His act is getting old. I use to think he would come around. Now I am not so sure.

I think the mediocre teams in the AL are equally matched. I expect a real panda fight for those WC positions.

I wouldn’t say flash in the pan; he’s a 3 at best and probably a 4. Those type guys are capable of really good to great starts, but those streaks are short.

He was a flash in the pan because he pitched above his head for weeks. I agree: he is a 3 or a 4.

To be fair, JD's 5 year contract has worked out much better than most of the SOX long-term contracts.

Close to the time when fans of another team get to watch JD up close

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX can build a pretty good offense around Devers, Dugo and VAZ. Maybe Story.

Oh-I agree!

But I really think he is finished now.

Bloom was shopping at the wrong Good Will.

Damn; if Ort's first name was Ed, he would tie Ed Ott for the shortest name in the history of baseball. Edited July 11, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Other first names that would work: Ty or Bo.

[vegasbob]

Amazingly, still a winnable game if theycould pt up a big inning

When your last name is Ort you don’t need a first name

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kaleb Ort is 30 years old. Pretty much in his prime.

Saltalamaccia laughs at Ort and Ott

That's a pretty big IF.

How about Mork and Mindy?

[moonslav59]

WOW! No K for Dalbec.

[vegasbob]

Dalbec kills the last two worms

[moonslav59]

I'm going out on a limb, tonight.

 

I predict a Sox win.

[vegasbob]

Sorry, actually Duran killed the last living worm near home

[vegasbob]

Vaz does deliver and Eddie Perez' craps on him

[moonslav59]

Vazadocious!
